it indicates a problem and should be investigated immediately
it reports on the engine ( check oil level, water level, charge rate ) and transmission ( check oil level if auto and gear selection process)
have the fault codes run asap to determine if the problem is going to costly or just sensor failure
there is always the possibility that you really have low oil pressure when you get this light, at idle the engines oil pump produces the least pressure and if there are problems then that is when it shows up, so have the oil pressure tested by a shop with a mechanical test gage, if the oil pressure is within spec then replace the oil pressure light sending unit on the engine, I don't recommend you drive this until u are sure of the pressure, u can SEVERELY damage the engine is the pressure is really low.
the oil pressure switch may need replacing or youre oil pressure is low check the oil pressure switch first if it is leaking oil at the switch this will cause the problems
with the key in the on position, locate the reset button in the drivers side fuse panel,pess the button when the oil light blinks press again, should stop blinking and the chimes will stop, hope this helps
On a Envoy you turn the key to run but don't start it. Then push and release the gas pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. The change engine oil light should blink for 5 seconds meaning you have reset the system. If it doesn't blink for you do the procedure again.
Just a idea. If the car is running at idle and the oil light blinks , it usually from low oil pressure. At a idle your seeing the light respond to the revolutions of the engine. ! thing to try is to replace the oil pressure switch on the engine block. And #2, Most causes in a VW is that the vehicle overheated at one time and weekend the oil pump,or massive amount of miles.
